  1. I will have to get my tape measure out and measure up the dimensions of the available space back there.
  2. Krannyman92, you are only 3 hours away from me.. My brother live up there in Palatine also
  3. Thanks for the info.. I just downloaded this program so I can analyze the songs now.. pretty sweet. Also I guess I will lower my low pass crossover settings.
  4. The amp is set in low pass and crossover is set between 120 and 160
  5. Yea I built my last box by my self and tuned it, was not a pro job but it did the job well... but if someone is willing to design a box for 2 p2 series 12's 2 ohm (will be bridged at 4 ohm) that would be great. They are going into a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer.. I was thinking of building a box anyway, but was debating on just making it a box for 4 12" subs so I can add a couple more down the road with another amp.
  6. A long time ago I use to have a good old school set up.. I had a 2 punch 150's, one 150 per Old School Rockford Fosgate 12" Power series Sub sub would have been made in like 1989-1990. They sounded great and I was hitting the low note great. Not here is my current problem... I have the following equipment in my -sig- Rockkford Fosgate Subs Pre Built P2 12's 2 2ohm running bridged at 4 ohms on a P6002 amp Should be seeing 300RMS per sub ================================================================================ Rockford Fosgate 500x Amp Running Mids and Hi's ================================================================================ Tweeters Mids 2 pair Dont get me wrong the system sounds great nice and clear.....BUT I am really missing the low end notes.. For example ZZ Top - My Heads in Mississippi at 1:05 into the track it has some low notes in it that my old system use to just shake the crap out of everything. This system I have now I have more power going to my subs then my old system but I am hardly getting anything out of that song during the low notes... So I am thinking that this Rockford custom box is not tuned low enough to get these notes. It said the frequency response is from 26hz-250hz so I would think I should get these notes. Can some one with the proper equipment play this song for me and let me know what frequency is playing at 1:05 in that song (zz top - My heads in Mississippi) Thank You
  7. My name is Doug and I am from Peoria, IL. I found this forum through Steve Meades Youtube videos. His video actually got me intrested in car audio again after a few years that have slipped by . just recently finished my audio install in my vehicle, nothing huge but nice and clean sound with a little bump. This forum is sweet an I will be combing through it for a long time. there are a lot of impressive installs on here and a lot of skill. I will have plenty of question. Nice being here and nice to hear from all of you.
  8. I will try and get a video soon... Maybe tomorrow.
  9. Well its been a while since I have been into car Audio.. back in 1989-1990 I had 2 power series 12's with a punch 150 on each sub in a custom ported box tuned to 35hz and an Alpine MRV F400 for the mids and hi's. That consisted of 2 RF 6" Midbass and RF 4" Mir in each door along with an Alpine 5 1/4 in each door and a pair of Alpine Tweets by the sun visors. This was all in a 1993 Chevy Beretta. Was out of the car audio when I started to get in to the PC and home theater stuff..but recently I saw a Steve Meade video and I thought it was time to try something again small scale. So I was shopping around on Ebay looking for a great deal on something to get me started.. I have to say for what I got I think I did a pretty good job...
